The structure of the Foucault Manual and keeps the subtitles with the slogans life - promises action - works. The first point life is pleasant on 8 pages kept short and at the end refers to more detailed biographies of Foucault. The work
Foucault is dealt with in Chapters II to IV. The second chapter works and groups is a systematic overview of the various major works, the Dits et Écrits and the lectures Foucault. The third chapter examines the contexts relevant reference Foucault authors as Kant, Hegel, Marx, Nietzsche and Heidegger. The contemporary references in France as phenomenology and existentialism, the thinking of Louis Althusser, Jacques Lacan, Gilles Deleuze and Jacques Derrida's get well as for important connections to Foucault and Judith Butler, Giogio Agamben, Antonio Negri and the Inter discourse theory and analysis. In addition, the overlaps and differences between the thinking of Foucault and Critical Theory, by Pierre Bourdieu and Niklas Luhmann to be treated. In the third chapter, finally, a selection of key terms and concepts of Foucault's treatment. Here you will find essays on the archeology, archives and biopower / biopolitics of the discourse, the genealogy and governmentality to the body, the Panoptimus and self care / self-technology, to name a few.
Under the heading of reception is in the fifth chapter, the effect of Foucault's thought in the various scientific Disciplines illuminated. In addition to the traditional disciplines such as philosophy, history, literature, political science and sociology, this chapter also essays on Foucault's reception in the sports science, gender studies and feminism, the Disability Studies and Governmentality Studies.
The appendix includes a chronology, a bibliography of primary texts of Foucault and - unfortunately somewhat brief - a selective bibliography of secondary texts, the authors of the tape, and an index of the Foucault's Guide. stabs
The number of entries and importing collective works of Michel Foucault, the Foucault manual produced very positive. It is suitable to facilitate entry into the thinking of Foucault, as a parallel reading of the primary texts of Foucault, as well as a reference and starting point to go deeper into the thinking of Foucault. All articles include a short bibliography of major research contributions to the topic. A compilation of the most important passages about the topic at this point would have been useful too. Similarly, the attached register missing persons end up with a corresponding subject index.
All in all I think this manual Foucault really good. There is already some weeks with me on the shelf and I have repeated some points looked up and I'm not often caught, and I just keep reading. But the high price of 49.95 Euro is worth in every case.
